This paper clarifies that the gap of aerial image caused by gaps between multiple retro-reflectors for large aerial images can be perceived to be complemented by binocular vision in AIRR (Aerial Imaging by Retro-reflection). AIRR requires a large-size retro-reflector to increase the size of the aerial image or to enlarge the field of view. To increase the retro-reflector size, multiple retro-reflectors should be connected, but the gap at connected part causes a gap in the aerial image. However, by binocular vision, this gap of aerial image is perceived to be complemented, and the entire image can be perceived. Moreover, the maximum width of the gap that is perceived to be complemented is clarified to depend on the viewing distance and the depth position of the retro-reflector. Thus, the problem of the gap of the aerial image can be solved for the flexibility of AIRR configuration, such as the improving ease of tiling retro-reflectors when displaying large aerial image or composing a new optical system using a gap.
This paper proposes a novel display technique that reconstructs an aerial image just around viewing eyes to realize ultrawide field-of-view that cover entire field of view with images. Although it is known that getting closer to the information screen usually makes images larger and covering the entire field of view with images, the closest distance is limited by our nose. However, aerial display overcome this hardware limitation and has a possibility to present information just around the viewing eyes, even behind eyes, because aerial display has no hardware around the aerial image. When observer stands between the display hardware and the aerial image, reconstructed aerial image is behind the observer. To clarify what can be seen in this situation, we have developed a prototype aerial display to form an image just around viewing eyes by using aerial imaging by retro-reflection (AIRR). The image size for observer and binocular disparity have been estimated using this prototype. Even when aerial image is reconstructed behind viewing eyes, inverted image to aerial image can be observed, , whose size and negative disparity become very large toward infinity. Furthermore, our proposed method can cover entire field of view with images. This method is promising for new possibilities for aerial displays, such as one providing an immersive sensation with ultra-wide field-of-view.
Aerial display, which forms a real image in mid-air by converging light from a wide aperture, enables us to realize non-contact touch interfaces and glass-free augmented reality. Optical performance of an aerial display depends on its real-image-forming optics. Typical optical systems for aerial display are optical systems by use of a dihedral corner reflector array, crossed slit mirror arrays, layered micro-lens arrays, and a retro-reflector. This paper reviews optical systems for aerial display and reports the line-based MTF measurement results.
This paper presents an experiment to realize an automatic identification system of tiger puffer (torafugu) using Deep Learning. To meet the operation of growing and selling aquaculture fish, we tried to use Transfer Learning to reduce the operation cost to identify torafugu. In this trial, we used three torafugu. We took a video of them swimming in an aquaculture tank then extracted figures of each torafugu. Moreover, to increase the number of data for learning and testing, we finally got 150 pictures of each torafugu by rotating and flipping. As the result of the experiment, 60 to 80 pictures for each torafugu are enough for automatic identification. The generated learning model can identify torafugu under severe conditions such as unclear photos by waves and change of brightness, and movement of back born during swimming.
